Self Determination Program · SDP code 331
Adaptive Fitness Coaching.
Through California's Self Determination Program, a certified fitness trainer provides one to one support, tailored to the participant's interests, abilities, goals, and pace.
One session. Two sides.
Not a generic gym plan. Movement adapted to the person, with someone beside them.
Movement, your way.
You help choose the activities. Your trainer adapts them to your abilities and pace, and helps you feel comfortable at the gym, the pool, or in a class.
A routine that lasts.
Consistent participation with the same trainer, with progress documented around your family member's goals.
What it can include.
Adapted strength exercises
Cardio at a comfortable pace
Stretching and flexibility
Balance and coordination
Learning to use fitness equipment
Joining a fitness class
Gym, pool, or park sessions
Building a weekly routine
